To All CMRA License Holders and Supporters:
At 02:00pm CST on Friday, March 13th, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards issued an order banning any gatherings including more than 250 people due to the COVID-19 virus.
A short time later CMRA Race Director, Walter Walker was informed that all on track operations must cease and that the paddock must be cleared as soon as possible.
The CMRA offers its sincerest apologies to the competitors, teams, staff, and fans, who had traveled significant distances for Round 2 of the CMRA Championship Series, including Saturday's 8hr Ultra Lightweight Endurance event and full Championship Sprint schedule.
We respect and support the Governor's decision in the best interest of overall public health.
The CMRA is continuing to make preparations for the next scheduled event at MSR Houston, April 24th - 26th with two important adjustments:
With over four weeks until the MSR Houston event and the impact of COVID-19 evolving on a daily basis, we recognize the potential for this event to be postponed or cancelled based on any threat to the health and safety to the CMRA family. To be clear, while the event remains scheduled we are closely monitoring public directives and input from CMRA license holders. Should any changes be required, 7-14 day prior notice will be provided.
The events scheduled for the canceled NOLA Motorsport Park event weekend will be moved to the April MSR Houston event weekend, Saturdays 8hr Ultra Lightweight Endurance and Saturday & Sunday Championship Sprints will all be included. Superteams & Team60 events will not run at the April MSR Houston event.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY!!
The events previously scheduled for the April 24th - 26th MSR Houston weekend will be moved to the final round of the season to be held at MSR Houston scheduled for October 23rd - 25th and will replace the events previously scheduled for that weekend.
